Cooking Solo for 500 people

Okay it is official. In Dec I'm attempting to cook solo for 500 people. Right from the purchase of vegetables & rice  to cleaning, cutting, cooking and serving, everything will be done by me alone. As far as I know this has not been attempted before, anywhere in the world. So I might get a shot at setting a record if I carry this through.

The idea is to showcase the unity of South Indian cuisine and to promote my book - 1001 South Indian curries. Accordingly, the menu ( see below)  will have dishes from all four states. If you have tips, suggestions, or just a word of encouragement mail me or leave a comment. I need all the help I can get !

The menu ( In the serving order)
1. Paal payasam ( Tamilnadu) 
2. Dali thove (Karnataka)
3. Tomato Pappu (Andhra) 
4. Shunti Thambuli (Karnataka)
5. Cabbage chickpeas Paalya ( Karnataka) 
6.  Rice
7. Thenga Chammandi (Kerala) 
8.  Potato Majjiga Pulusu (Andhra)
9.  Olan (Kerala)
10. Drumstick Sambar (Tamilnadu) 
11. Kerala Pappadam
12. Puli rasam ( Tamilnadu)
13. Yogurt

    I just came across your blog and find it fascinating. It might even achieve what my mom has been praying for - get me to cook on a regular basis! :)

    All the best for the event. Am sure you'll have fun churning out all that food.
